In our “Who wears what?” section. ", today we are attacking an omnipresent media figure in the French audiovisual landscape: Cyril Hanouna. The host-producer of All beautiful, all new displays a rather refined watchmaking taste on the wrist. And if we are to believe the many recent appearances, he seems to particularly like a Cartier Santos 100 XL in pink gold.

A Cartier Santos 100 XL rose gold

The watch spotted several times on Cyril Hanouna's wrist is a Cartier Santos 100 XLreference W20124U2a model launched in 2014 with an assertive design, mixing tradition and modernity (I hate this expression that we find on all the press kits of watch brands but we must admit that it lends itself well here). It is no longer in the current Cartier catalog, which makes it a sought-after model on the secondary market.

The main characteristics:

• Housing in 18k rose golddimensions 38 x 43 mm
• Black dial with Roman numerals, blue hands
• Automatic movement Cartier Caliber 049
• Black rubber strap with rose gold pin buckle
• Date function at 6 o'clock, water resistance 100 m
• Sapphire crystal, screwed back

It is a robust, luxurious and relatively rare watch. His sleek and modern style corresponds well to the image he seems to want to project off camera.

Why this choice?

The choice of this Cartier by Cyril Hanouna may be surprising, as its image is rather associated with a troublemaker attitude. It is clear that he displays a certain interest in beautiful brands both in terms of clothing and fashion. This timepiece shows the face of a businessman who knows how to surround himself with safe values.

The Santos 100 XL is:

• A watch inspired by the history of aviation (created in 1904 for Santos-Dumont)
• A design that is both sporty with its rubber strap and chic, identifiable and powerful
• A symbol of masculine elegance without excessive ostentation

If some can criticize his jokes or his editorial choices, it is difficult to blame him for this one.

And the other watches?

It is obvious that Cyril Hanouna does not own just one watch. But this Cartier Santos seems to be his favorite at the moment. While waiting to spot others on his wrist (Richard Mille? Audemars Piguet? Patek Philippe?), this Santos 100 XL in pink gold marks a parenthesis of good taste...
